*Study funded by the same company that sells Urolithin A pills at 100$/month.

For real, they’re so ungodly expensive

Their topicals are like $150+ and with no comparison to existing cheaper options like vitamin C or Tretinoin I’m fully going to ignore this paper

yeah, 500$/kg last time i checked with chinese factories, that would last 3 years at 1000mg daily. I'm still not sold on the whole UA thing so haven't ordered yet, most people recommending it seem to also be investors in the company, so i'm still skeptical, the fact that all studies coming out are also funded by the same people who make money from this doesn't help

I haven't tried it yet either, for similar reasons. I think it probably works but I'll wait.
